Floodland Brewing

[Hozomeen]

No harm intended, fellas. It was just an observation, some food for thought. A provocation, perhaps, but I’m no pot-stirrer. The spread of information online is unwieldy, and it seldom takes long for a handful of voices in a handful of places saying the same thing to ruin something in short supply. That was my point, and I don’t think it’s unreasonable, even if Photekut likes it.

But there’s no ******* way POTUS would ever write that tweet. Floodland’s beers are far too subtle, delicate, and restrained to earn that prick’s praise.

Cheers.

Nice email! Just placed my order.

Also love the branded cardboard packaging.

Packaging for the proletariat. Down with the bourgeoisie. Up the punks.

Huh? I don’t remember seeing that in the email.

Emails went out to the waitlist. (Members didn't see the email.)

5/14 evening Masonry Fremont event, put it on your calendars. Find a Hawaiian Shirt and your inner love of New Order.

Haha, in the email you encouraged us to go to the Masonry at noon when bottle pickups end. Do you expect us to stay there all day? Could get pricey. And drunk.

New Order is one of my favorite bands though...

 

[FoudreGuy]

Floodland releases are the best releases. So easy.

U on beer already, brah? Bottle pickup for that 3-pack is 4/14.

 

[wethorseblanket]

Forgot what the months are.

Well, it would be pretty expensive to head to Masonry on 4/14 and stay there until 5/14.

 

[wethorseblanket]

Well I have known the GM Melissa for many years, maybe she'd let me crash there.

Just set up camp in the meatball lounge.

Executive meatball lounge. I ain't that flush.

Out of curiosity, does anyone know how long the pickup window was for the last public sale? I didn't pay close attention since I knew I wouldn't be up in Seattle but I have trips planned in June and July so hoping I have a chance at overlapping with the summer public release mentioned in today's email.

I think it was just one Saturday for a few hours.

Dang, going to have to get real lucky with the timing then.

I assume no proxies to avoid double dippers?

 

[ggfunk]

Correct it was open from 9 to noon.

 

[evanw1]

I would imagine an Oakworks member could proxy for a non-member trying to pickup their bottles from a public sale. paysse, is that cool? I live close by, and could prolly help out, assuming I'm actually in town whenever the next public pickup is.

I believe it's no proxies for public releases; Oakworks only.

Yeah, as I see it, the downside of making it a bit harder for a few people (such as myself) to try Floodlands beer is that no proxies guarantees things get spread around to more people since no one is doubling down. If this is the case, I can easily live with it. I know I will try Floodlands eventually, even if it isn't from the next public sale.

If you promise to haul a bottle up a mountain and drink it there, I'm sure I can spare one at some point.

That would be amazing if you could. I would happily bring you something up from CA I hope would be a fair thank you. I am planning a North Cascades packrafting trip in July (tentatively start Highway 20, hike + paddle down Bridge Creek, then continue down Stehekin River to Lake Chelan. With an alternate start option of hiking over Cascade Pass until the Stehekin headwaters becomes runable). I can't promise it will make it to the top of a mountain, but it would certainly get drank somewhere deep in the wilderness.

Sounds like a great trip. I'll be camping on the Mountain Loop highway and spending a couple nights in a cabin up the Entiat River in July with FoudreGuy, but I'll make it work. Ping me closer to when you're headed up.

I don't have any plans to allow proxies for public pickups in the immediate future. It's a lot of customer service type work managing the sales already, and I'd rather be focused on making more beer.

For people in Portland there will be a keg at the Belmont Station Puckerfest in July.

For people in/near Seattle we'll have a lot of beers on draught May 14th at 5pm at The Masonry Fremont. No tickets, just come drink beer. Should be 5 beers on draught, and I only kegged 7 beers this year so that's most of them.

 

[FoudreGuy]

Looks like I know what I'm doing on the 14th.
